FG Backflushing filters for lubrications of ship diesel engines

In the winter the Gulf of Finland freezes over. To provide a continuous waterway  icebreakers are in operation during the winter months. Two ships, the “SISU” and the  “URHO” take care about the area between Helsinki and Tallinn. Each ship has 5 engines  with 12.000 hp each. The reliability of these engines has highest priority.

Challenge

In order to guarantee a continuous fairway, the motors of the  icebreakers must function without any problems during operation.

  • Former filtration system (manufacturer unknown) was not reliable
  • A reliable lubrication oil filtration is required
  • Sister ship (the UHRO) was equipped with a Filtration Group filter system some time ago. The customer wants to have comparable filter performances on both ships, so that both  ships can do their jobs properly

Technical data

  • Medium: Motor lubrication oil SAE 40
  • Filtration rate: 34 µm
  • Temperature: 65 – 70°C
